First Avenger The Bucky Thread

[louiebling$]

I agree with Keyser on this one

Bucky will be used for comic relief. I just hope that they pull the rug out from viewers and kill Bucky as Cap gets thrown in to suspended animation. They need that angst and guilt to add depth to the man out of time concept. It probably won't happen because I have a feeling that this movie is going the Ultimate Avengers animated DVD route.

Bucky is too much like Robin to general audiences and having any costume would simply kill the entire film. Even Stan Lee himself thought this was a silly concept and that was silly back in the 60's. That says it all. Winter Soldier works in the books but it's bad soap opera in any film. AGE Bucky (preferably kill him) and NO costume side-kick PLEASE.

I think Bucky could work seriously, he doesn't have to be just comic relief.

Yeah, use Bucky the way Brubaker does in the WWII flashbacks. Bucky was the espionage man. He got behind enemy lines and slit soldier's throats when no one else could.

 

[WillardNation]

While the Ultimate version has its strengths too, I think you could portray Bucky - character wise, at least - exactly like Ed Brubaker has in the comics, without any risk of it being silly. An orphaned teenage army brat is assigned to Captain America as his partner, ostensibly as a propaganda tool to counter the Hitler Youth, but actually to serve the role as advance scout, and do the dirty jobs Captain America must have plausible deniability of. Just alter the costume to remove the blue hotpants/red tights combo, if needs be, while keeping the character's role in the story the same.

That's exactly what I'd like to see in the movie.

That is how I imagined it going down. Bucky is the young face who can be skilled at placing bombs under bridges and shizzy. Cap is the one who is the face who charges full force towards the nazis. Bucky also could be the one friend who knows Cap before the transformation and understands to a degree the amount of pressure on him.

The only problem with Bucky knowing Steve before he becomes Cap is that Buck couldn't have undergone the same amount of training since he wouldn't have been living as an army brat his whole life. The concept that they know each other before is another good idea from Ultimates, particularly that Bucky was sticking up for Steve in the tough Brooklyn streets. But he's out of place being beside Cap doing the things Brubaker has shown him doing if he hasn't got that SAS, Green Beret, whole kit and kaboodle training.

honestly, i don't think i like ur idea 4 bucky. it makes him seam like some political stunt, and 1 that isn't needed. especially if they go for a younger cap.

Seems like Bucky is definitely going to show up in the film in one form or another:

Feige said that it's a "safe bet" that Bucky is going to show up in Captain America.

Yeah, this is true. I think you can get a better dynamic by having Bucky be skeptical about Captain America when he's first paired with him, but his respect - and ultimately, friendship - grows when he comes to know the man behind the mask.

any1 have any idea on what that 2012 movie they gonna announce later is??

hoping hulk 2. but it could be a reboot of another marvel movie like DD FF or blade.

I can also see them announcing a black panther movie, or even namor.

(i really hope marvel gets a namor movie out b4 dc does aquaman so the world gets to see the original king of atlantis on film 1st.t

Unfortunately, I believe Fox still own the rights to Daredevil and Fantastic Four, so I doubt it will be them.

A Sub-Mariner film could be interesting (I still think they should roughly follow the template of awesome mini-series The Depths), and I think a Dr. Strange film could also be a possibility.

dude w/ marvel there are so many possibilities. yet w/ dc only batman is getting (and now GL) are getting any attention. lol

i hope they can @least get movies 4 the rest of they're main 5 soon. (flash, wonder woman and a superman reboot.)

 

[Project862006]

i am putting money on Dr. Strange!!!

 

[protocida]

I bet in Dr. Strange.

And I'd use Ultimate Bucky.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea i bet strange will be next after avengers. I do remember reading he was one of the few other character marvel studios has full rights on. And they were/hoping to get him along with what else antman/runaways who are also under full marvel control.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Great to know Bucky's going to be in the film. As for what Marvel film will be announced for 2012, I'm hoping for Hulk 2, but if not, I'm thinking Sub-Mariner or Dr. Strange, which, IMO, would be awesome! Here's hoping it's either one of those.

 

[Sub-Zero]

i wouldn't mind if bucky was like cap's handler, but the other soldiers just saw him as a sidekick to cap.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea that could work. Or he could just be a regular soldier in the unit that cap is with and becomes cap's number 1 fan pretty much.

 

[Dog Brother #1]

I like the Brubaker story for Buck. The only thing I don't want to see is the tacky red & blue uniform. It may work alright for the comics, But I have trouble seeing it tranlated well in screen. But who knows. We'll see. I 'd prefer the regular army outfit he wore in the Ultimate line.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea just keep bucky/rest of the regular soliders in regular 1940s military garb.
